About India-Russia Relations:
Russia has been a long standing and time-tested partner for India. Development of Indo-Russian relations have been a key pillar of India's foreign policy.
Since the signing of the"Declaration on the India-Russia Strategic Partnership" in October 2000, Indo-Russian ties have acquired a qualitative new character with enhanced levels of cooperation in almost all areas of the bilateral relationship including political, security, trade and economy, defence, science and technology and culture.
Under the Strategic Partnership, several institutionalized dialogue mechanisms operate at both political and official levels to ensure regular interaction and follow-up on cooperation activities. There is regular high-level interaction between the two countries.
India has long standing and wide-ranging cooperation with Russia in the field of defence. Indo-Russian military technical cooperation has evolved from a buyer-seller framework to one involving joint research, development and production of advanced defence technologies and systems.
BrahMos Missile System as well as SU-30 aircraft and T-90 tanks are some examples of such flagship cooperation.
An earlier two stamp issue of 2,500 Paise or Rs.25/- and 500 Paise or Rs.5/- in my collection on the BRAHMOS Cruise Missile .
The inscription reads - "The incredible BRAHMOS has the fury of Brahmaputra andthe grace of Moskva rivers to combine with Speed, Precision and Power".
The two countries also hold exchanges and training exercises between their armed forces annually.
Making the economic partnership a strong pillar of the bilateral partnership like other areas of cooperation between India and Russia is a key priority for both governments.
Major items of export from India include pharmaceuticals, tea, coffee and tobacco, machinery and mechanical appliances, organic chemicals and electric machinery and equipment, mineral oil & products, iron & steel, optical, precision and surgical equipment.

Indo-Russian cooperation in the field of peaceful uses of outer space dates back around four decades.
In 2015, the 40th Anniversary milestone of the launch of India's first satellite "Aryabhatt" on a Russian (then USSR) launch vehicle"C-1Interkosmos" was crossed.
In 2007, India and Russia signed a framework agreement on cooperation in the peaceful uses of outer space, including satellite launches, GLONASS Navigation System ("GLONASS" is an acronym, which stands for "Globalnaya Navigazionnaya Sputnikovaya Sistema", or Global Navigation Satellite System. "GLONASS" is Russia's version of GPS (Global Positioning System), Remote Sensing and other Societal applications of outer space. Both sides are also exploring the possibility of cooperation in manned space flight.
There is a strong tradition of Indian studies in Russia.
Jawaharlal Nehru Cultural Centre at the embassy of India, Moscow (JNCC) maintains close cooperation with leading Russian institutions.
There is a Mahatma Gandhi Chair on Indian Philosophy in the Institute of Philosophy, Moscow.
About 20 Russian institutions, including leading universities and schools, regularly teach Hindi to about 1,500 Russian students. In addition, Tamil, Marathi, Gujarati, Bengali, Urdu, Sanskrit and Pali are taught in Russian Institutions.

It is estimated that about 300 registered Indian companies operate in Russia. There are about 4,500 Indian students enrolled in medical and technical institutions in the Russian Federation. "Hindustani Samaj" is the oldest Indian organization in Russia functioning since 1957.
The Theme for the India-Russia Joint Issue is "Folk Dance":
The theme selected for depicting on the Indian stamp is "Bhavai" and the folk dance selected for depicting on the Russian Stamp is " Beryozka":
Bhavai: This is a genre of folk dance popular in Rajasthan, India.
The Dance form consists of veiled women dancers balancing up to seven or nine brass pitchers on their heads, as they dance nimbly, pirouetting and then swaying with the soles of their feet placed on the top of a glass or on the edge of a sword.
There is a sense of cutting edge suspense and nail biting acts in the dance.
The accompaniment to the dance is provided by the male performers singing melodious songs and playing a number of musical instruments, which include pakhawaj, dholak, jhnjhar, sarangi and harmonium.
Traditionally, this genre of dance was performed by the female performers belonging to the Jat, Bhil, Raigar, Meena, Kumhar and Kalbelia communities of Rajasthan, India.
It is believed that this dance form has evolved from exceptional balancing skills of the women of these communities developed because of carrying a number of pots filled with water on their heads over long distances in the desert.
Beryozka: round dance is one of the famous Russian folk dances. This is an ancient round social Slavonic ritual folk dance. Dancers hold hands and the distinctive element of the dance are simple steps in a circle and simultaneous squatting of all dancers on a certain beat of the music.
A stage version is based on the folk dance. In this case, women perform it wearing pseudo-Russian stage outfits, styled on the Nizhny Novgorod girls (a jacket, a sarafan, a kokoshnik or a head scarf), while their hair is braided.
The dancers hold handkerchiefs or branches of birch in their hands which symbolise farewell to the spring.The general mood of the dance is melancholic.
